Aid available for business students
By Hannah Naughton Kansan staff reporter
Although most students have already paid their tuition bills, the Multicultural Business Scholarship program still has not awarded three of its seven yearly scholarships.

ON CAMPUS
Buchner has visited the program's group meetings.
Ruben Sigala, Liberal sophomore, received a scholarship this year as a transfer student.
"I'd say the greatest use I've gotten is the advising and facilitating," Sigala said. "It keeps you on track, knowing someone is watching you."
